Gunshot Truth

(Adapted from the web novel "Waiting for You in a City")
(Fireworks of My Heart)
(Episode 36)
Here.
Have some water.
You suddenly called
and said you wanted to stay at my place.
I was quite surprised.
After all,
we're not that close.
And from what I know about you,
you're not someone who doesn't care about social distancing.
Sorry to bother you.
Sorry and thank you.
You win.
You get to say everything.
You're a doctor.
Why is the house so messy?
You're complaining when you're staying here?
This is what you call lived-in.
If you ask me,
I think you have mysophobia.
They say people have mysophobia
because their heart is in turmoil.
That's why they can't tolerate the mess around them.
You're sick. You need to be cured.
(Song Yan)
Runaway princess.
Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?
Yes.
Wait here.
Let's have dumplings.
I'll cook for you. Wait for me.
Okay.
Where did you go?
To a colleague's house.
What is it?
Which colleague?
What do you want?
I want to pick you up.
Why?
Have you decided what to tell me?
I haven't seen Qin Er for a long time.
What has she been up to?
You're her brother.
Don't you know anything?
As for your sister,
it wasn't easy for her to persevere until now
under the huge pressure from your mom.
Do you think
she'll keep persevering?
I suppose so.
What else?
What about you?
How have you been lately?
I know everything.
A few days ago, you went out for a meal with a girl.
Look, I'll be serious.
I'm all for you dating
and starting a new life.
But with that girl from my bar?
Absolutely not.
You're overthinking it.
I just don't want to see her go astray.
In short,
we have nothing to do with each other.
Last month's money is
After taxes,
it's 19,046.40 yuan.
I'll transfer half of it to you.
Okay, it's transferred. Check it.
Say something.
I've always been the only one worried about this.
Even when you're getting the money,
you're dawdling.
I got it.
Isn't it
about 1,000 yuan less than last month?
If the sales don't go up,
there's nothing I can do.
I've been racking my brain.
But I can't come up
with a bestseller plan by myself all day.
Are you not feeling well?
What's wrong with your back?
I exercised too much
during the last PE class.
Lie down then.
Do you think
I hurt my spine?
Will I become disabled?
No.
I need to go to the hospital for a checkup.
I'll go with you.
- Come down slowly. - Okay.
Get up.
You're fine.
You just pulled a muscle.
I'll prescribe you an all-purpose medicine.
Apply it three times a day.
Stop when the pain subsides.
It's that simple?
Don't I need an X-ray or something?
Is my back
broken?
You're so energetic.
If it's really broken, it'll be a medical miracle.
It's almost lunchtime.
Do you want to eat with me?
No.
I'm really not feeling well.
I'd better go back and lie down.
Take this and get the medicine from the pharmacy.
Okay.
Thank you, Xu Qin. I'll get going.
Okay, go ahead.
Give me the prescription. I'll get the medicine for you.
Okay.
Yan Chen.
I told you it was fine.
I was in the area
and had a meal with a partner.
So I brought some food for you.
So
did Mom say anything to you?
No.
Does this matter
really not affect you and him?
Do you want it to affect us
or not?
I just hope
that you won't accommodate him too much
and make yourself suffer.
I'm not.
All right, Yan Chen. Don't worry.
Go. I'll get back to work.
Mr. Meng.
It's really you.
I thought I was mistaken.
You don't look good.
Are you not feeling well?
No.
Then have you been busy lately?
What's the matter?
It's nothing. Don't get me wrong.
I don't like owing people.
You treated me to a meal last time.
I've been wanting to treat you back.
I've been doing well on my livestream lately
and just got paid.
- Why don't we - It's okay.
I'll get going.
Hello?
All right, wait for me. I'll be right there.
Xiao Ge.
Chief.
- Hello, Chief. - Come down.
Yes.
Chief.
Have you been
doing well lately?
I
Did I make any mistakes, Chief?
How are things with your girlfriend?
It's fine.
Really?
She didn't tell on me, did she?
We only had a fight last week.
But I've definitely cajoled her.
How?
I just apologized,
called her,
bought a gift,
kissed her, hugged her, and held her high.
When girls get angry,
what's the usual cause?
Chief, speaking about this,
girls change faster than flipping a page.
Especially
Chief.
You made Dr. Xu angry?
Just answer me.
What did you do
to make her angry?
What could I have done?
I didn't do anything.
Chief, that's not the right attitude.
How can you say you didn't do anything?
When a girl is angry,
you can't say you didn't do anything.
Does Dr. Xu
always get angry at you?
Nonsense. She's nice.
Exactly.
Then it's your fault.
Just apologize.
- That's right. Apologize. - That's right. Apologize.
Just apologize. It's not a big deal.
I'm talking about Xiao Ge.
Why are you making a fuss?
Get back to training.
So stubborn.
Just be stubborn.
As a firefighter,
you can't even put out your own fire.
He ran away.
What are you waiting for? Come up and tell us.
- Hurry up. - Hurry.
(Have you eaten lunch?)
(I'm eating now.)
(Eat more.)
Don't you have anything else to say?
Social assistance.
You guys, come with me.
- Yes. - Yes.
What's wrong?
Doctor.
I have a headache.
Give me a prescription for pethidine.
This medicine can't be prescribed just like that.
How about this? I'll start you off with a lab order.
- Go for a test. - There's no need.
I know it's just a headache.
Hurry up and prescribe it.
The hospital has its rules.
We're taking responsibility for you.
Go for a test first, okay?
Others can prescribe it, but you can't?
I want pethidine.
Pethidine!
Calm down.
It's not that I won't give it to you.
But I have
- to follow the hospital's rules. - Prescribe it!
It's not that I won't give it to you.
Will you give it to me?
- I can't. - Someone is causing trouble.
- I can't! - Call security. Hurry.
Will you give it to me?
Calm down. Put down the knife.
I
I'll look for it myself.
I'm sure you have it.
It must be here.
Call security.
Stop rummaging. I don't have pethidine!
Give me pethidine!
Don't move.
Where is it? Where is the pethidine?
- Put down the knife. - Here!
- Give it to me! - I know where the pethidine is.
- Don't move! - Don't move!
- Don't move! - Get down!
- Get down! - Get down!
Hang in there.
This way.
Dr. Guo is here.
Dr. Guo.
I said I'm fine.
You don't have to bother yourself.
Even if you're a doctor yourself,
you should listen to your colleagues.
Dr. Guo, please take a look at her.
Okay.
Clench.
Open.
See? I'm really fine.
Luckily, it's not serious.
Her nerves aren't injured.
I'll give you an anesthetic to stitch you up.
- Get the anesthetic. - Okay.
Thank you, Dr. Guo.
The weather is cold and dry lately.
The wound is less likely to get infected.
But just to be safe,
you have to take anti-inflammatory medicine on time.
Don't get it wet.
Don't bend your wrist.
You don't want it to get infected.
Thank you. I'll be careful.
You have to listen to her.
Don't get your wound wet.
Okay.
Do you still have anti-inflammatory medicine?
Should I prescribe some for you?
I do.
Don't worry.
Dr. Xu.
Do you know how important
a surgeon's hands are?
You're completely irresponsible to yourself.
I've always been careful.
It was just an accident.
What did Dr. Guo say?
She said the wound is superficial. I'm fine.
I just need to make sure it doesn't get infected.
Take a few days off.
Come back when your hand is better.
When you fill out the form
for the research group selection,
you can come back.
I
I can participate?
You deserve it.
Don't be surprised.
Dr. Xu.
I know you must have helped me.
Thank you.
Don't thank me.
You're a rare talent.
The hospital also wants
to focus on training you.
But you have to remember.
No matter what you do,
what will help you in the end
is your ability.
I'll remember that.
That was fast.
I had to be quick to pick you up.
Come on, get in.
What happened to your hand?
I got scratched by a piece of glass.
No big deal.
You're fine?
Are you sure?
I'm fine.
I even took days off.
If it was really bad, I wouldn't be in this state.
But I don't think you're in a good state.
What's wrong?
I have nowhere to go.
Did you have a fight with your boyfriend?
Come on.
Tell me about it.
Can you drive first?
Stop walking.
What happened? Tell me.
Let me ask you.
If someone you want to spend the rest of your life with
is hiding something from you,
can you accept it?
Well, you have to ask
the person I'm going to marry.
If I get married,
I'll have a lot of things to hide from her.
She can't know.
If she finds out,
the wedding will be called off.
It will be a mess.
I knew it.
You never say anything serious.
I'm telling you the truth.
It's from the bottom of my heart.
You just said
he's hiding something from you.
What's wrong? Is he cheating on you?
No.
What are you talking about?
That's right.
He's not that kind of person.
Then what is it?
He doesn't say a word
about his past experiences.
No matter what I ask him,
he never gives me a clear answer.
In this kind of situation,
it's either
he has something he's not proud of,
or just mentioning it will make him suffer.
Who doesn't have their own little secrets?
Why do you have to know?
I don't have to know.
I just think his attitude toward it isn't right.
What is it that he must hide it from me?
With our relationship,
doesn't he deserve to be honest with me?
If he's already like this now,
what about in the future?
You're actually feeling unease, aren't you?
Why would I be?
Because from your perspective,
you disregarded your parents'
objections and obstacles.
You gave up a lot of things
and chose to be with him.
But the way he treats you now
makes you scared.
Coming.
You're back.
Let me introduce you.
This is my colleague, Yang Si Jia.
This is my friend, Xiao Yi Xiao.
He insisted on taking me home.
Dr. Yang, we've met before.
It's you.
What's the matter?
Are you worried that Xu Qin is with me?
No.
Knowing that she's with you. I rest assured.
Don't worry.
Then you should go home first.
I won't bother you anymore.
I'm tired.
I'll go inside and rest.
Get some good rest.
Is everything okay?
Yes.
She's been staying with you lately.
Sorry to trouble you.
Dr. Yang.
I'll add you on WeChat.
If anything happens to Qin Er,
you can call me anytime.
Okay.
I'll scan your code.
Done.
She's with me.
Don't worry.
- Okay. I'll get going then. - All right.
Song Yan.
Do you want to take a leave to visit Dr. Xu?
Take a leave? It's not that serious.
Is it not serious?
It is serious.
Song Yan, I don't mean to criticize you.
I get that Dr. Xu is angry.
If it were me, I would be angry too.
A girl is injured.
This is the time when she needs care and love.
How can her boyfriend not care about her?
What did you say?
She's injured?
Didn't Dr. Xu tell you?
Xiao Xi called me.
She hurt her wrist.
What happened?
She said someone caused a scene at the emergency room
this afternoon.
He had a knife and cut her wrist.
She even had surgery.
Send me Xu Xi's number.
Okay. Hold up.
Hello?
My phone is on silent mode.
How's your hand?
It's broken.
It's fine.
That guy didn't hold the knife properly.
It's just a superficial wound. It's not deep.
I'll be fine in a few days.
Xu Qin.
We
We're just fighting. We didn't break up.
But we didn't fight either.
Yang Chi.
Xu Xi's phone number.
Hurry up.
- You still want it? - Send it to me.
You didn't bring your keys?
How's your hand?
It's fine.
- Let me see. - Don't touch it.
Okay. I won't touch it.
Does it still hurt?
No. Why are you here?
I'm here to see my girlfriend.
Look.
I bought you cake, milk tea,
and fried chicken.
Are you here to deliver food?
I
Let's go home.
Which home?
Our home.
Our?
Is there still an "our"?
Xu Qin.
I sincerely apologize to you.
Why are you apologizing?
Like you said,
I was too full of myself.
I made a lot of decisions
without discussing it with you.
To put it nicely,
I didn't want you to worry
or pressure you.
But frankly,
I'm just running away.
When I don't want to face you,
I'm in a dilemma.
Go on.
I had been single for so many years.
I was used to it.
There are many bad habits
that I don't realize.
But when I am with you,
I can't be like this.
I'll change.
I'll definitely change.
If there's anything in the future,
I'll discuss it with you.
Okay?
I promise.
That's it?
What about this?
Let's not dwell on this, okay?
It's not that I want to dwell on it.
I just don't think
you trust me as much as I trust you.
I don't hide anything from you.
But what about you?
To come this far for us and our future,
I had to leave everything behind.
You're making me
Xu Qin.
Let's give it some more time.
Even if you're angry, you have to eat.
Call me if you need anything.
We haven't broken up, right?
Get lost.
All right.
Have you forgotten what happened in the past?
It took you so much
to become an outstanding soldier
and get a guaranteed place in the military academy.
But right before the evaluation,
something happened.
You didn't do well in the exam. What happened?
Why did you join the army?
Why did you become a firefighter?
What about this?
Since you chose to repeat your studies,
you should work hard.
I can't get into your university even if I work hard.
You can apply to another school.
Which one do you want to go to?
It's a secret.
There are secrets between us?
I'll have to trouble you with this.
It's nothing.
I'm begging you.
Let my child go!
- You can't ruin his future! - Get him out of here.
I'm begging you!
- Security. - I'm begging you.
Let my son go!
You can't ruin his future like this!
I'm begging you!
You did well this time.
You've been awarded a second-class merit.
When you recover,
I'll give you a promotion.
You can marry her proudly then.
(Grave of Song Zhi Yong)
Dad.
I haven't visited you in a long time.
It's not that I don't miss you.
It's just that some time ago,
I was on a mission.
That place
is far from our house.
It's humid and hot.
Did I get a tan?
Right.
I have good news for you.
For this mission,
I got second-class merit.
I'll get a promotion soon.
From now on,
you don't have to worry anymore.
Your son
will be successful.
Xiao Yan, you're here too.
What are you doing here?
It's Yong's memorial day.
As his buddy, I have to be here.
What kind of buddy are you?
He stood up for you,
but you bit him in the back.
Xiao Yan.
That was a long time ago.
What? Are you still holding a grudge against me?
Here.
Yong.
I know you like this.
I brought it especially for you.
How could you let your dad drink such bad wine?
This is good wine.
You haven't you tried it before.
What are you doing?
You don't deserve to serve him wine.
Xiao Yan.
What happened to your dad back then
was not my fault.
If it weren't for him,
everyone would have gotten more.
He wasn't capable,
but he still stood up for others.
If he was capable,
would your mom have run away?
That's right.
Your dad must have died because of your mom.
Which man can accept it
after getting cheated on by his wife?
So if you want to hate someone, it shouldn't be me.
You should hate that promiscuous woman
- who despises the poor. - Mom!
Mom!
She infuriated your dad to death.
What does it have to do with me?
Mr. Wu.
Look, in order to have evidence that he hit someone,
my face is full of bruises.
Even my arm is broken.
This is the real deal.
I hired someone to hit me.
With my broken arm,
I won't be able to do anything for six months.
How will my family make a living?
Has Song Yan's uncle come to see you recently?
Don't worry.
Even if it's his uncle or someone from the army,
I won't accept mediation.
I'll make sure he's kicked out of the army.
Song Yan.
Why do you want to become a firefighter?
Sir.
Be it the special forces
or a firefighter,
there is a mission and responsibility.
They're both noble professions.
I want my life to be worthwhile.
I want to live as a human being.
On behalf of Shilitai Fire Station,
I welcome you.
Xu Qin.
Wait for me.
I'll stand proudly in front of you.
Wait for me.
Why hasn't Qin Qin been home
for the past few days?
She wasn't here two days ago.
Why isn't she back when you're back?
She's busy lately.
She's so busy at the hospital that she can't even come home?
How about this?
I'll make some soup later.
Take it to her.
Song Yan.
Did you make my sister-in-law angry?
Don't talk nonsense.
I'm sure he did. Tell us.
What did you do?
Listen up.
If you make her angry and she runs away,
you'll regret it.
I'm done eating.
Take your time.
Did they really have a fight?
It's normal for young couples to fight.
Let them resolve it themselves.
We should stay out of it.
It's weird.
He usually treats Xu Qin
like a treasure.
The desire to survive must be quite strong.
Eat up.
Are you not feeling well?
Why are you here?
Shouldn't your injury have healed long ago?
It wasn't easy for me to get to see you.
You didn't answer my calls.
I saw you were on duty today,
so I made an appointment.
You're wasting medical resources.
I know I was wrong.
But let me say a few words.
Just a few.
Did your brother send you?
No, I came on my own.
Did you have a fight?
I'm working right now.
Well, since I'm already here,
give me a checkup.
What's wrong?
Can't sleep. Lovesick.
My brother hasn't slept for the past few days.
His eye bags are like a panda's.
If he really did something wrong,
please be generous
and forgive him, all right?
Next patient.
Xu Qin, don't.
I'll wait for you in the garden.
You have to come.
You must!
Xu Qin, over here.
Zhai Miao.
Xu Qin.
Here, have a seat.
Xu Qin.
I heard from my parents
that you haven't been home for a long time.
Did my brother make you angry?
Why didn't you tell me?
I'll teach him a lesson for you.
It's not that I don't want to talk to him
and must fight with him.
I just feel like
he's keeping a lot of things from me
and shoulders all the burden alone.
For example,
the gunshot wound on his body.
Your whole family knows about it,
yet you kept it from me.
My brother must have his reasons
for not telling you.
He's doing it for your own good.
Zhai Miao.
If it were you, would you accept this explanation?
It's nothing, really.
It's just that my brother was in the special forces
and made some contributions.
Then why
did he become a firefighter?
Xu Qin.
Is this why you had a fight with my brother?
Forget it.
Anyway,
I'm a bit tired.
So tired
that I don't want to be with him anymore.
Xu Qin, is it that serious?
My brother really didn't
You know what?
I think your brother is unreliable.
How could my brother be unreliable?
My brother
He did a lot of things for you.
He just doesn't tell you about it.
He loves you with his entire being, Xu Qin.
You're his sister, of course you'd say that.
But from what I saw, after he got me as his girlfriend,
he didn't cherish me anymore.
Because of him,
I almost severed my ties with my family.
But what did he do?
Forget it.
You don't have to say anything.
I'll get going.
Xu Qin!
Xu Qin.
I'll tell you.
I'll tell you.
I'll tell you.
When my brother repeated his studies,
didn't you two break up?
He studied very hard
and worked out
in hopes of getting into the military academy.
He thought if he became an officer in the army,
he would be successful
and worthy enough for you.
But I don't know why.
During the medical examination, he didn't pass.
That's why he failed.
My dad suspected a problem with the medical report,
so he took him to the hospital for a re-examination.
He found that his data were all qualified.
My dad went around complaining.
He wanted to fight for a chance for my brother.
Then
he begged your mom.
What did you say?
My dad said
that it was your mom
who bribed the doctor.
Until the end of the military academy admissions,
my brother didn't get the chance for a re-examination.
Xu Qin, are you all right?
My brother didn't want me to tell you
because he didn't want you to feel bad.
And then?
How did he get shot?
He wanted to be a soldier.
Because he was strong and hardworking,
he was recruited
by the border force.
He got hurt
while he was on a mission.
He risked his life
to get a chance for a promotion.
But because of a tip-off call,
everything was ruined.
After that, he left the army
and went to the fire station.
You know what happened
after that.
As for the person who made the tip-off call,
I'm sure you know who made it
even if I don't tell you.
Xu Qin.
Do you now know why my brother
didn't want to tell you?
When he was going through a hard time,
when he was in despair,
the thing that kept him going
was you.
Dr. Xu, you're going home?
